The American Resistance RPG

When you can't walk you crawl, and when you can't do that you find some one to carry you. (Moto of the 157th Overlanders)

The year was 2012, The Russian Government, backed by the UN had decided the United States was becoming too unpredictable for the security of the rest of the world. A coalition of UN Forces invaded and quickly laid siege to a United States Government and Armed forces that were hesitant to open fire on soldiers that were once its allies. The official war was a quick, decisive victory for the Russian lead forces. The Constitution was burned on national television, much to the out rage of the common people. Those who had weapons took to the streets; that insurgency was extremely short lived. People in the further off reaches out side of the now shelled out main cities had more time to plan, more time to fortify and secure their lines. The 157th Over Landers, known as the “Mud Dogs” or “Brown Coats” by their allies in Northern Michigan, a land where there are far more dense Forest is their base of Operation. This role play is based on their resistance against the invading Russians.

The Run down of current events:

Ok so here’s the basic Deal. The setting is 2013 *No the world didn't end on Winter Solstice of 2012 yay!!!* The Russians have Invaded and while a couple of big cities and capitals lay in ruins because of an insurgency movement that was ill fated due to poor planning and improper implication of plan failed. For the most part things are still pretty much as they were before. You still have the basic amenities, gas is still too expensive, you still have good neighborhoods and bad, Children still go to school daily, and there's still a government most people don't like in the White House. There are generally two types of people in the country now. Much like the days of the American Revolutions, there are those ultra liberals who welcome the new government with open arms, and those who resist the new Governing body. The Cities of Detroit and Lansing in pockets are in absolute ruin. Historic Fort Wayne in Detroit has been turned into a prison by the Russians. (Yes that will play into the story line later) With the guards living in the 1848 Barracks (which has been thoroughly modernized (thank you Post Quamy Detroit) And the Prisoners are kept in the Sally Ports, the Case Mates, the Old Powder magazines and those that can't fit there, in a large tent, on the parade grounds. Recent news that would be buzzing both the Russian Soldiers and the Resistance forces is that the Russian Prime Ministers daughter was caught in the cross fire between our Insurgency group, and the Russian soldiers on the way to her fathers Vacation home in Alpena. Of her Motorcade she was the soul survivor. Jacob had rescued her from the burning Debris, and taken her back to the base where she was receiving medical treatment. The Resistance leadership under Jacobs recommendations Stuck to their general rule about Civilians... They are NOT to be used as Military chess pieces. The Prime minister was contacted and Arrangements are being made to see to it that his Daughter is returned to him unharmed and fully healed. All they are waiting for is a Neutral location and for the Prime Ministers Daughter to be stable enough to move to that position. A dedicated communications channel has been set up so the PM can keep in communications with his daughter and be ensured that she is being treated as a guest with every kindness and respect available to her hosts to provide her. The Link is of coarse UNTRACEABLE (this is for story line reasons and non negotiable the player of the Prime Ministers daughter has requested it) but it does serve as proof that the Insurgency are not treating her as a prisoner.
